Will Medicaid help pay for home health care?

To qualify for Medicaid, a person must have a low income and few other
assets. Medicaid coverage differs from state to state. In all states,
Medicaid pays for basic home health care and medical equipment. In some
cases, Medicaid will pay for a homemaker, personal care, and other services
not covered by Medicare.

For more information on Medicaid coverage of home health care in your state,
call your state medical assistance office. For state telephone numbers, call
1-800-MEDICARE.
